And I suspect a lot of people who voted for the second option are blowing smoke, that they like to proclaim their love for freedom, but when push comes to shove they'll creep back into a position of making excuses for increased government control over our lives.

Or would they take the freedom side on issues like owning guns, much less carrying guns, seat belt laws, smoking in private establishments, land zoning, building permits, health insurance, employment laws and regulations, welfare, etc.?

Complete liberty would mean no counter-measures against terrorism;
Sigh. That is false - getting rid of the random searches at airports, and making the laws that govern that open to the public, doesn't mean no air marshals can be on flights. Having to get warrants to eavesdrop is not useless compared to eavesdropping without warrants.
